Russia launched a massive daytime drone attack on Ukraine, firing at least 800 drones, according to AP News. The scale of the assault represents a significant escalation in Russia's aerial warfare strategy, which has increasingly relied on unmanned systems to strike Ukrainian infrastructure and military positions.
The shift to large-scale daytime attacks differs from Russia's previous pattern of predominantly nighttime drone operations. Ukrainian air defenses have faced mounting pressure from the sustained barrage of unmanned systems over recent months.
Details on specific targets and casualty figures were not immediately available. The attack underscores the ongoing intensity of the conflict and Russia's continued investment in drone warfare capabilities.
